WW: Henry Doorly Zoo Trip {Linky}

We live by one of the best zoos in the world: Henry Doorly Zoo. It was awhile, since we've visited, so we decided to go on Sunday.

We mostly stayed in the new African Grassland, since we've never seen it.

They have a ton more to see:

Aquarium

Alaskan Adventure

Madagascar

Butterfly and Insect Pavilion

Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom

Forest

Gorilla Valley

Kingdoms of the Night

Desert Dome

Lied Jungle

Aviary

IMAX Theater

Asian Highlands is Coming Soon!

One could literally spend all day there. There is over 130 acres of exhibits.

If you're one that's against zoos because animals aren't in their natural habitat: Henry Doorly Zoo has The Center for Conservation and Research. They do their best to keep animals in their habitat. They won't let people around some baby animals. Newer, bigger areas are constantly being built to give the animals more room.

One of my favorites was the shot below. I stayed behind taking pictures, and spotted this money breastfeeding her baby/toddler. Yay for Momma Milk!

Below the money area is a ton of coy fish and ducks. They go crazy for bread crumbs, which they sell in dispensers.

Mica and Isaak like their animal sculptures:

Mica was being crushed under this wooly mammoth:

I bet Isaak didn't realize his hand was resting on the orangutan's boob.

I could stare at the giraffes all day! I just love their hight, pattern, and how gentle they are. There was a spot where you could touch them if they came to you. I missed it.

I was shocked and sad when we went to see the elephants, and there was a sign saying, "Due to large amounts of rain, we're fixing up the elephant's slope. Excuse our mess." I thought I wouldn't see elephants at all, but they just moved them down aways.

Great zoo you have Alissa...I haven't been to the zoo for quite some times! But we have seen at least 3 here..Bronx Zoo, Queens Zoo and Central Park zoo. I can't help but cracking up looking at Mica and Isaak's photos :)
